Final Fantasy XVI
Well...I am 14 hours in and about 50% through the "main" story.

Just wow...it has my vote for GotY. The story itself is one of the best of all the Final Fantasy franchise. Imagine Game of Thrones but with Final Fantasy elements. The mature theme appeals to the older crowd in a great way. It is one of the best RPG games I have played in a long time. Play the demo and the first 2 hours set the tone for the entire game. The cheesy-ness and cringe dialogue of previous FF games is no more (looking at you laughing Tidus).

Although the combat is fast paced, it takes a bit of skill to properly navigate combos and abilities, while also healing and commanding your dog, Torgal. Then you add in the "cinematic" sequences within some boss fights and it adds an entirely new element to the game.

I had some doubts going into this game, but no more. The story, characters, and combat have just sucked me into another world. Unless Spiderman 2 blows me out of the water, FF16 is the Game of the Year.

P.S - You can pet the dog (Tor-GOAT)
